Angled Warhead headstock?

I'm a big fan of the Warhead headstock, but why angle it?

I meant in order to get the truss rod access on the headstock instead of on the side, like the angled strat headstock.
 
The "Pro" construction that has the side access adjustment is a Good Thing. Those necks are remarkably stable. Basically a "set it and forget it" truss rod. Plus, you don't have the inaccessible heel adjuster or the unsightly headstock adjuster. On top of all that, it allows for a wider variety of neck meats because you don't have to have a scarf joint to hold the headstock on. It really is a superior design.

At least when there's a floyd rose nut on it, nobody notices that there's no truss rod hole or cover on the headstock.
 
True - I hadn't considered that as I'd rather take a beating than ruin a neck by installing a Floyd Rose locking nut.
